"Since Sun"

Thrill Jockey

Artists:

Survival is the latest project from Liturgy’s Hunter Hunt-Hendrix and features some of his singular preoccupations. In the carpal-cramping, driving riff of “Tragedy of the Mind”, you can hear the same arguments about momentum and stasis that animated Aesthetica playing out across the music’s surface. On “Since Sun,” an acoustic guitar puzzles over a single arpeggiated figure while Hunt-Hendrix and fellow band members Greg Smith and Jeff Bobula intone solemnly: “We sing for everyone/We lift our cups to the sun.”
